Re: Naval quiz. You can put your own quizes.

Very clever, but I got it fairly easily!

Looking at the picture, it was kind of obvious this was a Project 613 (Whiskey Class) boat with which I am intimately acquainted, having visited a couple of them, and an early type, judging by the fact the AA armament is still present (this was deleted in later boats).

Guided by the fact the number looked unlike any of the Russian boats I've seen and the fact you have your national flag proudly displayed in your avatar, I immediately looked at pictures of Indonesian Navy submarines, and, sure enough, there she was - RI Tjakra/S-01, one of the first two Indonesian submarines, both Project 613 Type C boats purchased from the Soviet Union in 1959.

well done sir!

The thread is yours

Don't give up just yet, Mr. Gumalangi!

You were, very, very close when you were talking about Odin Class - the boat is most certainly British built, and, in fact, there is a direct link to it from the Odin Class Wikipedia article...
It's just that it isn't a straight Odin, but a slightly smaller design based on this class.
